Fires Controlled Over Weekend

There were some fires reported in the region over the weekend, but firefighters were able to bring them under control.  The largest was a fire estimated at 1,000 acres in size on Sunday afternoon about seven miles south of Grass Valley and west of Highway 97.  The Sherman County Sheriff’s Office reports crews were able to knock the main fire down, but there was a flare-up this morning that was quickly put out, and the area will continue to be monitored.  Fire crews and farmers stopped the fire’s progress at Finnegan Road.  There was a nearly seven acre fire on Friday night along Interstate 84 near Rowena at milepost 76.  Two fires were reported over the weekend in the White Salmon area, Friday on Snowden Road and Sunday on Wilkes Road.  On Saturday there was a small fire at the exit 63 on ramp to Interstate 84 in Hood River.
